I recently picked up a 12th Armored, 18th Armored Infantry Battalion uniform named to the vet.  I tried to find a value but haven't had any luck. I know the 12th with the tab is hard to come across and I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on it for me. I appreciate all the help in advance!

I am not familiar with the brass buttons on an ike jacket. Very interesting. Good luck.

The buttons were placed there by the vet I believe.  The original plastic buttons are still present, it was just for aesthetics.
